After deciding on a variety of green inks from Taylored Expressions, chosing a sketchy leaf stamp and a sentiment and my card stocks, I was ready to start the time on this CAS card. My first Gina K Autumn Silhouettes leaf was stamped using peapod ink and a quick swipe of a baby wipe and dry towel, the next color was sweet basil, then granny smith, then spearmint and finally mint julep. The focal panel was rushed to my Big Shot with a Waffle Flower A2 layering die, then back to the misti to position and stamp the Gina K Scripty Sayings 2 sentiment in the mint julep. This was layered on a piece of green cardstock and cut to size on my paper cutter and finally layered on my A2 notecard. Completed in 5 minutes, 7 seconds. I did find that stamping with ink cubes was a bit more time consuming than a full size pad. It also helped to have a stamp set that was a bit sketchy and the leaves overlapping slightly to hide any oops! Another fun Speed Challenge with:
As You See It Challenge: Challenge #355: Lively Leaves This was a speed challege of under 10 minutes and a theme of leaves.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care, stay safe.

This is an absolutely sterling effort at speed stamping! It looks as though you’ve lavished hours on it. I think that your choice of a variety of green inks really adds life and zest to the design.

Thanks, Johanna., I was pretty happy with it and thought of making a few more cards with that design for fall.
Simple concept; amazing results! Your choice of green inks was spot on! I love the sentiment stamp, took, the way it underscores the leaves! The way that the matte framed the image was brilliant, too! A perfect speed stamping design!
